Trip to San Francisco Day 6

Stopped at the Westfield Shopping Mall on Market Street, then took a bus through Chinatown to Fishermans Wharf. We did one of the many bay cruises and took the trip's best pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge.




We had lunch at Boudin's, the sourdough bakery and restaurant. The clam chowder in a bread bowl was awesome, at least as good as any we had in Boston. After lunch, we did the trolley hop tour of town, which among other things included a tour of Pacific Heights, which we had not previously seen.



Later that day, we visited the Wax Museum on Fishermans Wharf, which we would normally not pay $13 to see but it was included with the Go San Francisco cards that my wife and I had obtained prior to our trip. We were really glad we didn't pay afterwards as the wax figures were not particularly good - it was definitely no Madame Tussaud's.

We did another cable car trip, this time on the Powell Hyde Line, which is considered to be the best of the three lines. We did not do it from one end to the other, but our trip did cover the awesome scenic part of the ride. We got back to our neck of the woods in Nob Hill and had dinner at Roxanne's Cafe.
